Sadmascot is an artist I found while browsing through flickr one day. He's got some very intricate line-work, but apparently a lot of the stuff he's done is vector. Here's a few pieces:
Would the easiest way to do this be using a blob brush or something similar? I've always wanted to try my hand a little drawings like this, so I thought I'd use this chance to try it out.
I like this idea. IT fits your look. Like some of the paintings that Jon and I have of yours around the apartment. Can't wait to see it
ReplyDeleteYes, I think the blob brush would be great. For him it looks like doing these chunks of hair and then layering them works to build up the complex stuff. With the blob brush something like that would definitely need to be in layers so that you could still re-order which is on top. You may even be able to make a symbol for hair that would be easy to use. I will look into that.
ReplyDeleteI have a little 9 min. demo recording in blackboard announcements called "hairy dustin" under:DigStudio Day 9 Lectures. I tried out some ideas on how to deal with lots of hair in Illustrator.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lecture! I haven't messed with the brush in illustrator much before so it was interesting to try some different stuff out.
